[DeTomaso] Stock Flywheel Question

[wkooiman at earthlink.net]

I wouldn't be surprised if the casting number is C5 (1965).  It should only change if there's a major engineering change.  It isn't the date the part was made.

The flywheel is a common 28.2 oz/inch inbalance with 164 teeth (vs. 157 teeth).  I don't know the history of 157 vs. 164 teeth flywheels, but a guess is the introduction of the 289 increased the clutch/flywheel to 164.

I think the only differences with small block flywheels were 157 vs. 164 and 28.2 oz/in vs. 50 oz/in.

>Can someone confirm they are correct for stock flywheel on 351c? Machine shop guy tells me it can't be stock because the flywheel is from 1965 and might belong to a 390.  Wondering if I should really leave it there for him to look at if he is so far off on what it is.
